New Jil Sander for Uniqlo hits in January

Why must we tease with news of the spring line now? you ask. There’s a jolly good reason: us fashion fans can get our modest mits on the pieces as soon as January.

The sleek and chic (not to mention purse-friendly) pieces will return to Uniqlo stores across London and online at www.uniqlo.co.uk on January 7th , that’s at least a whole month earlier than we were expecting.
